LONDON : MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 17, 1838. In another part of The Sun will be found Lord DURHAM'S answer to the deputation of the West minster Reform Association ; the letter which the Chairman of that deputation has thought it his duty to write to Lo►d DURHA M this day, and the authorised speech with which the Chairman, who at the public meeting moved the address, introduced it to the meet ing. Although Lord DURHAM seems rather to have acted against precedent in taking his impression of the objects of the Association, from the mischievous remarks of some persons present, instead of con sulting only the address and the constitution of the Association, and should, perhaps, have accepted the address, protesting against those remarks, we are bound to say that we admire the frank and manly spirit of his Lordship's answer, and are happy to see him take the earliest opportunity of separating himself from the party and principles of which Dr. WADE sets himself up as the organ. We must also add, that the Deputation, by their amicable and sensible conduct, have shown that they prefer the public good to any private feelings, and have firmly suppressed any expression of disappointment, in order to promote the union of all true Reformers. No correspondent called our attention to the Spectator of yesterday, as the Spectator says called its attention our article of last Monday ; we looked for a notice :and a reply, and found both. The Spectator repro duces its articles of September Bth and September 15th, and then adds the following remarks : The reader sees that the doctrines and the advice contained in the above article, is perfectly consistent with what we wrote last week. It is coDsistent with the entire course of the Spec tator on this subject. When it was attempted to turn the Chartists aside from the announced object of their meeting, by the introduction of the Corn-law question, in such a way as to make the two subjects clash, we said to the working men— "Do not be diverted from the pursuit of the franchise ; dis cuss the Corn-law question when it is fairly brought before you, but not at a meeting to petition for Universal Suffrage." When, lat a meeting for establishing an Anti-Corn-Law Association, the Chartists, with their political dogmas, broke in upon the persons intent upon attacking the landowners' monopoly, we reprobated the proceeding. We desire fair play for br h ques tions, not that they should jostle against each other. Let the Universalists exert themselves to extend the franchise, and the abolition of the Corn-laws also ; but we address the middle classes on that subject particularly, not so much because their i n c.r est:in it is of the largest amount (for we do not underrate the suffering which the Corn-laws cause to the labouring popula tion) as because they have the power to abolish the monopoly, througi: their Representatives in Parliament, which the work men w i t hout the pale have not. Such have been our doc trines, maintained with a perseverance which might be tire some to idlers and provoking to adverse interests, but with a consistency and sincerity which, we may be allowed to say, have never been exceeded in the press of this country. It is difficult to imagine what motive The Sun could have for a misrepresentation so palpable, that the mere juxtaposi tion of its article with ours exposes its grossness. The hack -who did the dirty work must be as silly as base. In the reproduced articles of the Spectator are the fcllCwing passages:— Til'ere is an attempt on the part of the Ministerial Press t divert ti,se attention of the working classes from political changes overthrow of the Corn-laws." The fact is that the desperate yYlligs throw the Anti-Corn law cry among the people as a tub to the whale. They live on pretences from day to day."---Sept. 8. " The Sun denies that :be Corn•law agitation is the child of Whig and Ministerial intrigues. We never said that it was. It is the child of scarcity and proicibitory duties. But it may nevertheless be used for the Ministeria: purposes of the day as ,ao many other popular efforts have been before it. And when ',lie article complained of was written we had not seen The Sun ; bu't unless our memory fails the Morning Chronicle had re contmended that at next Monday's meeting resolutions for a Tepee! of the Corn-laws should be moved by way of amend ment to the people's charter. We have read some of The Sun's clever Articles on the subject this week, and mutt say that however honestly intended, they seem calculated to serve the dishonest purposes of the Whigs." The Spectator had been labouring, most success fully we admit, aided as it was by the conduct of Ministers, to make them unpopular and objects of in tense suspicion, particularly to the working classes. After having done this, it stigmatised the Corn-law agitation as a Whig trick. The Chartists adopted its views and its language, and also stigmatised Corn-law agitation in September as a Whig trick. It is true that the Spectator also stated that the agitation was the child of high prices and prohibitory duties ; and that the Whig Nobles would not go along with any at tetont to repeal the Corn-laws. It knew, therefore, and - expressly stated that it was not a Whig trick, and and yet it so described it. Not only did it so describe it, but it said of our articles that they were calculated to serve the despicable purposes of the Whigs. In complete ignorance even of the course of the dis cussion, for the merely Ministerial Journals had taken only a small part in it, and we had put ourselves promineatly forward, it ascribed our sugges tions to move an amendment at the Palace-yard to the merely Ministerial Chronicle, and thus even mis represented facts to make the Corn-law agitation un popular in September, by associatin g it with the name of the Ministers who m i t had done its utmu'st to make objects of suspicion and hatred. Now, as the Sp;ectator is a friend to the abolition, we must repeat, that to 'le scribe the agitation of the questio n as a Whig Ma. nceuvre, in order to discredit it, was in our opini on , ss we said last Monday, the " very rabidnes s of fac tion." We do not kno w that we sh ould have gone so far, had we not found a warrant for our language in the words of the Spectator. In Septem ber it deprecated the Corn-law agitation below the level of a claim for Universal Suffrage, by the lan guage we have quoted. On Saturday week it sneered at those who now do at Birmingham what it recom mended at London in September. In the same paper which contained the passage above quoted, which as serts the undeviating pursuit of the same object be tween September and the present moment, it is said in the languge we quoted last week— " In Birmingham it is resolved to postpone agitation on the sa:ieet (the Abolition of the Corn-laws) till Universal Suf frage be achieved. Some wise men whom the Birmingham Radicals follow, have adopted the principle that such a small matter as the Corn-laws, can well wait for adjustment sill they have carried Universal Suffrage. Had they not bet ter leave principle out of the question as well as common _sense?" In September the Spectator recommended the post pvement of the Corn-laws to the Chartists, in order ...'"••••• - 1,••••"; - t- " 0,, Zrln --aux. I,iat they might thidivkiedly pm sue their chase afte r Universal Suffrage ; it described our efforts to make them prefer the former to the latter, as aiding die dishonest purposes of the Whigs, and it con tributed to make the Chartists suspect our mo tives ; and in December the consistent journal in sinuates that those who followed its September advice want boti Principle and common sense. In September the Spectator knew that the Corn-last agitation was not the child of the Ministers, and yet it asserted it was ; in December it sneers at those who prefer the Suffrage to the abolition of the Corn-laws, and at the same time asserts that it has continuously and consistently held the same language and pursued the same object. We have heard a good deal of the calumnies of the Pulpit and the slanders of the Bar, but they are quite equalled by the recklessness and im pudence of quasi patriotic Journalists, who claim public approbation for monstrous inconsistencies and for labouring to injure what they avow to be a good cause, when that serves some petty or personal purpose. As to what the Spectator says of ourselves, we beg to submit to its " habit of analysis" that our conduc' could not be both silly and base ; unless it be silly to express an honest conviction. We admit the silliness of observing that the Spectator depreciated the agita tion of the Corn-law question in September, and re• commended Universal Suffrage, and deprecated Uni versal Suffrage and recommended Corn law agitation in December, but we cannot admit that there was any baseness in reminding our Contemporary of his vacilla tion, and of setting our conduct in September right with his friends and followers by his authority in De cember. In truth, it was neither the " silliness" not the " baseness" of the " hack" which affected our Contemporary, but the correctness of our remarks. As our Contemporary is now re-converted to our Sep tember views we can only regret that the necessity of setting ourselves right with the public and his friends, the Chartists, should have compelled us to pierce through " his mail of self conceit," and plant a rank ling barb in his arrogant and self-sufficient heart. The parties opposed to a Sunday delivery of letters in the metropolis urge, as one of their great arguments, the tendency of such a practice to increase business on the Lord's Day. If one house, they say, were to take advantage of the change, others would be com pelled to follow the example in self-defence. The Sabbath would be blotted out of the days of the week, and the whole country would soon relapse into Pagan ism. They urge this in defiance of the well-known fact that this practice in Scotland is coeval with the establishment of the Post-office, and that the people of that country are, nevertheless, the most religious, Sabbath-observing people in the world. But if their argument is good for anything, possibly they may soon find that they must go a great deal farther, and not only prevent the delivery of letters, but put a stop to steam-carriages and every other means of conveyance on a Sunday. What is to prevent a Liverpool or London house, or number of houses, sending an agent to either place on a Sun day morning with advices to their correspondents, and thereby get the start of the rest by twenty-four hours ? And do they imagine if any great advantage could be gained by this, that the Hebrews, who disregard the Sunday, would not have discovered the secret, and put the system in practice long ago ? We feel just as much alarm for the one result as the other—that is no alarm at all, because one fact is worth a thousand theories ; but there is good ground for alarm, that when railroads shall have intersected every part of the empire, the pro prietors of some of them, indulging in their morbid feel ings, may come to a resolution to stop all travelling on their line.during the Sunday. When towards the close of the last Session the Government claimed certain privileges for the Post-of f ice, some of the Railway Companies resisted, on the ground that railways were private property, and if the Legislature interfered with their management in any way not warranted by the original Acts, that the rights of property were gone. The Government yielded for the time—hut what has occurred since ?—and the bigotted notions which cer tain of these proprietors entertain respecting the ob servance of the Sabbath, will force Ministers to intro duce, without delay, some comprehensive measure %chid' shall apply to all railroads. Most other Go vernments have provided amply for the security of the public against railway monopolists, and we, therefore, recommend to the attention of Ministers, and also to some of these Companies, the regulations made by what the Tories call the paternal Government of Austria. By a late order of the Austrian Government, projectors of railroads are allowed the profits of the undertaking (not to exceed 15 per cent.) for fifty years, and the line then reverts to the State. The carriage of the mail is provided for, and in every urchase or contract made by the proprietors, a Go % ernment Commissioner is a necessary party. Prussia has also made provision for public convenience in a similar spirit. The Government lately published forty iiine heads of regulations against speculation and job iing, and among other things it expressly provides Lhat the State shall have the right, after thirty years, of !;urchasing any particular line, on paying twenty-five times the amount of the average annual dividend during :he last five years of the thirty, and that three years after a line is formed other Companies may acquire Icon; the State the right of conveying p assengers an d inerchandize by the same line, on paying the original Company a fixed rate of compensation. The last clause is not the least important, and declares that :he law is applicable to all railioads made as well as those to come. Letters and papers from Madrid of the Bth instant have reached us. After various ineffectual attempts to form a Cabinet, the following appointments have been made : The Duke DE FRlAs—President of the Council. General A LA IX—War. Senor PITA PIZA RRO—Finance. Senor VOLGORNERA—Grace and Justice. Ruiz DE LA VEGA—lnterior. It was doubted in Madrid whether such a Ministry could maintain its position for a week. In our opinion it cannot stand half that time. There is no fresh in telligence from the theatre of war. By the arrival at Liverpool, on Saturday, of the packet-ship Roscius, in nineteen days, from New York, we have received a file of New York Papers to the 27th ult. inclusive. The news they bring from the Canadas is more interesting than important, ex cept in c 9 far as it tends to remove all apprehension of any further s attempt of the rebels to take the field this winter.

EHE ROYAL HUNT. WINDSOR, DEc. 15.—The sport in Surrey with this establishment last week was everything that could be wished for, and the muster at the meet on each hunting day was numerous and sporting-like, and on the first day attend e d by Royalty—the Duke and Du c hess of Cambridge, with the Princess Augusta, being present to witness the turn-out. I n addition to the sporting musteron the first and two other days, the assemblage of spectators was brilliant and numerous. The Noble Master (the Earl of Errol) was at his post, and not only exerted himself to afford sport, but so arranged the turns-out that that the spectators might have good views. The first day's meeting (on Monday) was at Coombe Farm, near Kingston, whence the deer proceeded to Cheam, by Morden, Carshalton, Beddington, Whaddon, &c., and was taken in a farm-yard at Whaddon, near Croy don. On Wednesday, the second day's sport, the fixture was Epsom-downs ; the deer took to Walton-heath, down the hills by the chalk-pits, by Margery-grove and Gatton, then over a fine fencing country by Reigate, passing the windmill towards Red-hill, and after a severe run was taken at Godstone. The third and last day of the week the deer was uncarted on the downs, beyond Leatherhead, and went away over the race-course, on for Banstead-park, then head ing back to Ewell and Epsom, through the park of Sir Gilbert Heathcote, back towards the Common and Headly hill, thence to Leatherhead, Fetcham, and Bookham-com mon, when the chase ended, after running for two hours and a half—an excellent finish to the three days' sport. On Tuesday the meet was at Wrexham, where a large assemblage of well-mounted sportsmen met to enjoy the sport of the day, and many of them anticipating a further treat—the presence of their Sovereign, it being understood the previous morning that it was her Majesty's intention to witness the turn-out, and to appear on horseback. In the morning, however, it was known in Windsor that her Ma jesty had postponed her visit till a future day. Among the sporting circle were several who had ridden some great distance in anticipation of seeing the Queen. We noticed there Lords Dudley Stuart, A. Fitzclarence, Colonel An son, &c. The deer, on being uncarted, took across Fulmer Common, passed Pickeridge, away to Gerard's Cross Com mon, and Alderman Bottom, through Haw Wood, across Southland's Farm, where some brooks caused a sharp look out, and not a few of the gallant followers fathomed several of them. The pace here was very good, and the line was by Uxbridge and Cowley to Hurstwood and Drayton, where the deer was taken. The run lasted an hour and a quarter, and was a fair day's sport. PRESENCE OF THE QUEEN.—The place of meeting yesterday was at Mile-house, near Salt-hill, on the Bath road, and the mor n i ng it se lf was o f t h at d escr i pt i on to haveinsured a strong muster there, but there was another and still stronger exciting cause, which was the known determination of her Majesty this day to ride on horseback, accompanied by a numerous suite, to witness the turn-out. The time of uncarting was consequently delayed beyond the usual hour, the equestrians and pedestrians, and those who were in carriages, parading the line of road from the Two-mile brook to the Mile-house, anxiously looking for the approach of their Sovereign, whose visit on such an occasion had not until within these few days been ever thought of ; indeed, had it been generally known, or even believed by many who had heard the rumour, but who gave no credence to it, the assemblage would have been im mense. However, about one o'clock the royal cortege was seen approaching the place of meeting. Her Majesty was attended by the Hon. Miss Murray, Baroness Lehzen, Miss Quentin, Viscount Melbourne, Mr. P. Thomson, Viscount Torrington, Colonel Buckley, Right Hon. G. S. Byng, Hon. Major Keppel, Mr. C. Greville, Mr. Brand, Sir Henry Wheatley, and General Sir G. Quen tin. The following distinguished persons followed in pony phaetons—viz., Marchioness of Tavistock, Viscoun tess Torrington, Lady Mary Stopford, Lady C. Buckley, he Earl and Countess of Albemarle, the Hon. Mrs. Brand, and Miss Pitt. The Royal party rode along the high road, which was lined on each side by the assembled company, who respectfully saluted her Majesty as she passed, and received in return a gracious recognition. Having passed the assemblage, the cortege returned through the line again. The Royal hounds, so justly celebrated for beauty and excellence, with the Noble Master (the Earl of Errol), Mr. Davis (her Majesty's huntsman), and the remainder of the hunting establishment, were stationed in a field close to the roa d s id e , so as to afford the illustri ous owner of this splendid establishment a perfect and un interrupted view of the hounds. The precise spot for the turn-out having been d e t erm i ne d on , which was in a field belonging to Mr. J os h ua Ald r id ge , on th e other side of the railroad, between the Mile-house and Salt-hill, the stag cart proceeded thither, and was followed by the Royal party, who took up their station in the centre of the field. The deer was uncarted close to them, and on being set at liberty, after taking a few stately strides, turned round and gazed for a few seconds at the Royal party, as if in astonshment at the honour conferred by the Royal visit, and at his being selected for the day's amusement. Having gratified his curiosity in this respect the noble ani mal took a line of country that enabled her Majesty to enjoy a good view of the commencement of the run. The gular law having been given, the hounds were brought into the field, took to the scent close by the Royal party, and went gallantly away in pursuit, followed by a most numerous and well-mounted field of sportsmen. When no further trace of the hunt could be seen her Majesty and suite returned into the high road, and proceeded to the C .stle by Salt-hill, Chalvey, and Datchet. The route to the hunt was through Windsor and Eton. We ought to remark that the company in the field willingly obeyed the request of th e E ar l o f E rro l as to ta ki ng up t h e ir stations, by which the Royal party was not in any way incommoded. We trust we Ann have to record many similar con,es cending vi s it s o f our young an d amiable *Sovereign. The day's sport was excellent. The deer was taken at Ger rard'Q-cross, after a beautiful run of one hour and a half -It'indsor Express. Recruiting, en a most extensive scale, is now going forward in no less than twenty-one regiments of the line.— Sheffield Mercury. Yesterday morning, between two and three o'clock, Thomas Rose, a young man, twenty-two years of age, a footman in the service of Alexander M‘Derinott, Esq., of Baker-street, Portman-square, having been out with some friends, returned to his master's house. Fearful of dis turbing the family, he attempted to climb over the iron railings of the area. He had got one leg over the area gate, when his foot slipped from off the lock, and the iron srike entered his body to some extent. His cries awoke the butler, who slept in the pantry, and he succeeded in extricating the sufferer, and conveyed him into the house. The injuries sustained are of so serious a description, that he lies in a precarious state. HUMILITY.—"" Have you called upon M r . and family that have recently becom e your neighbours ?" asked a gentleman one morning, whilst taking a walk on fie sea beach, of the better half of a certain vermiorm, g .nteel, full fathom of Welsh divinity. "No ;" replied the lady, bridling herself up, "We never call upon those that do not keep a regular establishment, carriage, and livery servants."—Carnarvon Herald: THE MAILS.—As we mentioned on Saturday, whenever the mail coaches to or from any particular dis t rict are put upon a railroad the change leads almost in variably to irregularity and delay in the delivery of letters. This is a public inconvenience which neithe r need, nor ought to exist. Every department of our Government appears to be in great activity, if we may judge from the number of Queen's messengers that have been passing and repassing this place during the last few days.

A mail from the Brazils has arrived, brought by the Mutine, sailed from Rio Janeiro 28th ult., with a freight of 60,000 dollars. She brings no particular news, and did not touch at Bahia or Pernambuco, and does not bring any arrivals relative to the reported disturbances at Bahia, which were stated to have occurred at the time she sailed from Rio Janeiro. The exchange at Rio was 28 to I, Stock 79. An American Paper of the 26th Nov. gives the foliating account of the state of the weather :—" We are at this early day assailed by a severity of cold which few anticipated. It came on us on Saturday night, with an intensity almost un precedented, and has continued to this time without diminu tion. We fear that many goods in our canals will be prevented by the ice from arriving at their places of destination. The Baltimore American, alluding to the present high prices of tobacco, based on the prospect of a short crop, states, on the authority of the best-informed dealers in the ar ticle, that the crop of Maryland tobacco raised in 1838, is es timated about two-thirds of an average crop, or, in round numbers, about 20.000 lbs. The quantity of " ground leaf" saved this year is very small, not exceeding one-fourth of the usual product. We have received the Journal of Commerce of Antwerp of yesterday's date. Accounts from Brussels state that since yesterday it has been reported that two of our Ministers have offered to resign. M. Willmar, Minister of War, is said to be the first ; and it is not difficult to guess the other. It is added, that their resignation was the result of a Council of Ministers, in which was debated the question of adhesion or resistance to the last resolutions of the Conferences at Lon don. The majority of the Council was composed of three Ministers. A Portefeuille and a Minister of State pronounced for the resistance. This report is much credited. I have to communicate to you, by this opportunity, that Messrs. Samuel and Phillips have contracted at 70 per cent. for the Government Six per Cent. Stock. Our exchange, which was looking up, has again flattened, and bills to some extent have been done at 28k. In politics :here is nothing new to communicate. Buenos Ayres Papers have been received to the 30th Sep tember. We copy the following : We have received the Monte Video Journals to the 25th inst. Affairs are much in the same state as it regards the civil war in the Oriental territory. Those in arms against the Government are still in considerable force in the vicinity of Monte Video ; but no fresh encounters have taken place. Pro visions, particularly beef, were scarce and dear in that capital. The Government issued two decrees, dated Monte Video, 19th inst. Ist. The property of every individual now in the hands of the anarchists shall be sequestered in all the territory of the Republic. 2d. The property referred to shall be disposed of by the State. Another decree, dated the 23d Sept., states that every vessel which may anchor in the port, whether merchant or of war, is prohibited from comunicating with the shore or with other vessels in the bay until • she receives a health visit. Passen gers are also prohibited from disembarking at any other place but the mole of this capital. Admiral Brown, having permission of the Government of Buenos Ayres to enter into the service of that of the Oriental Ropublic, was employed at Monte Video, in fitting out three vessels to act against those of the rebellious. The French Admiral Leblanc has given notice to the Government of Monte Video, that he shall not suffer the vessels of Admiral Brown to sail from that port. We have received a Price Current from Rio Janeiro, to the 27th October:—Coffee prices are not materially altered, and have kept pretty steady, notwithstanding the rise in the Ex change, and the very considerable arrivals from the country. The sales during the week amounted, to 17,000 bags, includ ing 4,000 sold to-day. The Exchange is a shade lower; some business has been done at 281. and 28i ; 60 days' bills remaining at the latter rate. Stocks continue to rise about 50 contos have been sold at 79 ; the sales yesterday amounted to more than 400 centos. It seems now to be wi•hout doubt that a large amount is going to England. The remainder of the credit of 1837, and the total of that of 1838, amounting to more than 7,000 bonds, have been bought at 70 by the house of Samuel Phillips and Co. THE FUNDS. The chief intelligence we have — tiiis morning is from the United States, by the Roscius, and from the Brazils by the mail. By the former the accounts are favourable from Canada, as we do not hear of any more resistance from the rebels ; the last defeat has given them the death-blow, and everything was in a quiet state when the intelligence left. The particulars in the American Papers, will be found in other columns. The accounts from the Brazils do not bring any confirma tion of the reported disturbances at Bahia, or a declaration of war by the French Admiral to Buenos Ayres, as was reported.

This acci dent occurred at about half-past ten on Tuesday morning, in consequence of the sudden falling i n o f a quant i ty of earth in the rear of the building, bearing down by its weight, the roof of the chancel, throwing down the walls, and burying the . whole in one mass o f ruin. The body of the church, which is of solid masonry, escaped without sustaining any serious injury. No loss of life or other acci dent occurred.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in the case which was argued before his Lordship upon appeal from the decision of his Honor the Vice-Chancellor, sustaining an award.

EQUITY EXCHEQUER-(THIS DAY) IN RE BIRMINGHAM AND GLOSTER RAILWAY. This was a petition presented by the Rev. Mr. Lawson, Perpetual Curate of the chapel of Moseley, praying that thy: sum of 1,0001. which had been paid by the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Company, for certain property, might he invested, and the dividends paid to him, so long as he should continue curate of that parish. The Counsel for the petitioner, in answer to questions by the Court, admitted that no affidavit had been filed, stating that the land which had been sold was part of the property with which the chapel was endowed. Lord ABINGER said that he could make no order until that fact appeared upoti affidavit. MELVIN V. ELWOOD. Mr. RICHARDS moved that the injunction granted on this case to restrain the defendant Elwood from taking proceed ings at law, be extended until another defendant named Ship stone sheuld file an answer to the plaintiff's bill. The bill was filed by the underwriters at Lloyd's against the defendant El wood, who effected a policy of insurance on behalf of the other defendant on a vessel named the James then on a voyage from China to Singapore, and thence to London. The ship was lost during the voyage, and Elwood commenced an action to recover the amount of the policy as for a total loss. It was pleaded in reply to the action that the voyage was an illegal one, and that a consider able quantity of the goods had been paid for by the shippers, &c. ; and the af f idavits stated it to be necessary for the plaintiff to have such a discovery as was prayed for in the bill, and that certain papers might be produced, before they prodeeded to the trial of the action. He now moved that the injunction which had been granted might be continued until the parties interested put in their answer. Lord ABINOER granted the application. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. The second session of this Court, of the present Mayoralty, was opened this morning before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Mr. Sergeant Arabin, the Sheriff, and other City Officers. The Grand Jury having been sworn, The RECORDER said he was happy to say that it would be unnecessary for him to trouble them with any length ened observations. Though in the short interval which had elapsed since the last session, there had come in for trial 150 cases, he was happy to say there were none of them of an aggravated nature, nor so far as he had been able to learn from the depositions did the calender contain any case which called for any observations from him ; he apprehended that in none of the cases would any difficulty upon any point of law arise. It might be almost needless to inform them that no bill could be returned to the Court unless it had the concurrence of at least twelve of them ; and if they wished it they would have the able assistance of the intelligent officer of the Court, who sat below him (Mr. Clark) who had been placed at the disposal of the Grand Juries at the last meeting of the Judges. He did not apprehend they would have any difficulty in any of the cases, but as Mr. Clark would attend them with the de positions which had been taken before the Magistrates, h. would be enabled to suggest which of the witnesses ought to be first called, and so save much of their time. He would also, by being provided with the depositions, prove a great check upon witnesses, and prevent the ends of justice from being defeated by tampering. With these few observations, he would allow them to proceed to their duty. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrival last week of Wheat was small, of other grains tolerably good, and of Flour fair, with a slack trade for most articles, and a little indication of lower prices. This morning the fresh supply has been fair from the nearer ports, and the attendance of buyers, some from the country, good, together with a further report that in addition to the prohibition of ex portation of Wheat from Naples, a similar precautionary measure has been adopted in Belgium; the latter circum. stance, however, is very doubtful. The Wheat trade has been firm to-day for all good parcels, but such as are In tender condition have sold heavily at hardly so good terms as last Monday. The prices of Foreign are well maintained. Barley sold slowly at its former value. Beans went off at about their previous rates. Boiling and Grey Peas are Is. to 2s. per quarter cheaper. Oats met a fair demand, and well sustained the last quotations. Flour sells at its former prices, and the bakers' stocks are considered as smaller' an usual at this season of the year.

This being the Christmas market-day, there was a nume. rous attendance from all quarters, and very early in the morn ing the show was very fine, and appeared to give general satisfaction. There was a brisk and steady trade. The sup ply, though great, was not greater than the demand, and it is expected that all will be sold, Prices of Beef were firm, at an advance of 2d. per stone in prime sorts. Mutton rose 2d. per stone. Veal was very scarce and very dear. Pork in good demand, at unaltered quotations. Beef, 3s. 4d. to ss. ; Mutton, 4s. to ss. 6d. ; Veal, ss. to 6s. ; Pork, 4s. 4d. to Os.

Prices arc much tb: e same as last week. TALLOW MARKET. P. Y. C. continues at 58s. 6d., without securing much busi ness. The stock to-day is about 23,000 casks. COLONIAL MARKET. To-day there was nothing done in this market, either by public sale or private contract. There is, however, some busi ness advertised for the week. To-morrow we have public sales of 5,800 bags Ceylon Coffee, 2,100 bags St. Domingo, 100 of Mocha, and 29 of B. P. ; 250 Ilbds. Barbadoes Sugar, and 1,000 bags Bengal ; 907 bags Saltpetre ; 561 bags Jamaica Rice ; and a little Cotton. The Imports to-day are light. NEWCASTLE CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 15. Our market was again very largely supplied with Wheat to day from the interior, and we had also fair coasting arrivals, but the demand being very limited sales could not be effected, except at a decline of 2s. to 3s. per qr. on last Saturday's rates. Barley was in fair request at late prices. Oats, being in good supply, were taken off slowly at our last quotations. For Rye we had not so much inquiry, but in its value we can note no alteration. Malt also met little attention. Other grain remained without change. Our millers having reduced the price of their Flour 3s. per sack, a proportionate decline bad to be submitted to on the samples from Norfolk and Suffolk. i. Wheat, Northumlserland 5 New.
